The-AO-Squad: School Wars book #1/chapter26
Chapter 26
The time had finally come to the point where to two would depart. Humphrey fidgeted from where he stood now, knowing Kate would soon be off to History, and that soon he too would be off to Science...
At least we have five more minutes...
He desperately didn't want to leave Kate now, especially as his mind had now started to drift back to Art class from this morning... sure it was in the past, done and over with, but it still left a mark on him..
Kate nudged him suddenly, bringing him back to reality. "Welp..." She began, eyes directed to the floor. "Fate awaits..." Kate spoke her usual line before heading off to History.
"Yeah... Fate awaits" Humphrey though couldn't help but agree.
Kate was just turning to head out into the halls when suddenly Humphrey couldn't help but ask her something. "W-Wait Kate" He began, her head jerking back around towards him.
"Yeah? What?"
He pondered, not knowing whether or not he should tell her of his small new fear that would await him from in Science.
"W-Well..." He glanced around to see if anyone 'Upper classed' was in earshot. "What if I run into Imani and Peyton again?... You know, like yesterday?" He couldn't help but bring back up, afraid that Kate might think of him as a coward now, on how he was taking this whole thing a bit too far now, though he was a bit shocked when her face unified and darkened from the possibility.
"Oh yeah, dang..." She waited a moment before replying now. "Well, just wait a bit, and hang back until you actually see them exit the classroom before you" She suggested, making Humphrey give a small grateful nod. He then watched as his mate headed off into the crowds, golden tail flying as she hurried to History's door.
Kate rounded the corner of the lockers where surprisingly Makayla and Peyton were, their heads close together near their lockers. Kate gulped, eyes quickly growing wide as panic began to surge through her own self now.
I-I thought they'd be back at Humphrey's next class!... M-Maybe they dismissed early...
She kept her head low as she entered Mrs. Askins' room now, unaware of what would take place next.
She then took a seat in her same seat as yesterday's, awaiting maybe another chance to finally getting to talk with Jocelyn.
She took her seat, unclipping her bookbag from off of her back and then suddenly spotted Syrita, as the black female came trotting into the room with Madeline at her side.
This made Kate give a small sulky face before rising to her paws to speak with her friend.
Come to think of it, I hadn't spoken to Syrita back in Math class at all...
Kate finally stopped Syrita's path to her seat, her eyes giving nothing away.
"Hey Syrita..." Kate calmly greeted, she then gave Madeline a small nod in respect that she noticed her, but she wasn't here to talk with her at the moment.
Syrita only eyed the ground before looking back up into Kate's eyes. "Hi Kate... Can I get to my seat please?" She slowly asked. Kate nodded quickly, not knowing whether Syrita was using her usual dramatic tone or not... she couldn't tell...
"Thanks" Syrita then flopped into her own seat that she too had previously picked yesterday... Kate though still couldn't understand why Syrita hadn't originally sat beside her..
She couldn't help but ask this now, curiosity beating her.
"S-So... Do you... know why, you chose to sit over here exactly?" Kate asked a bit afraid her friend might take it in the wrong way.
Syrita only raised her eyebrows, confused. "...Well let's see, maybe cause I wanted too?" She answered slowly,making Kate's gaze only drop to the floor.
"Oh... Good reason" She muttered, half annoyed with her friend now that she finally headed back to her own seat.
Gosh... I-I didn't mean it like that...
She then awaited for Mrs. Askins to simply enter the room so that History could begin...
Humphrey took his usual seat, glancing at his same seat-buddy from yesterday which was Chris. Humphrey honestly didn't mind Chris that much seeming he was a sensible wolf... sometimes.
Though he also didn't like the fact that Chris had many friends which he usually, no wait, the majority of the time, he talked to from in Science class... Though Chris wasn't like this in Language for some reason. He must not have many friends in Language, or maybe he was usually just tired from in the early morning weaknesses...
"Ok class, let's get in, and get started... On Science!" Mrs. Thrower, the teacher suddenly barked as she came in from the door to the right. (The Science room had 2 doors... who knows why, Idk)
Humphrey straightened at this though.
"Ahem..." Mrs. Thrower cleared her throat before she directly began now. "Ok so, welcome back to School, for day two" She greeted with a cheeky smile, getting a few moans from those like Alasia and Bailey, which were sadly within Humphrey's Science class. (like always for some reason...)
"Now for the most part, Science is easy, like I told you yesterday, and-" Mrs. Thrower began now, though at this point, this made Humphrey brighten.
Seems like she's only going over stuff she told us similarly from yesterday... maybe we won't have to do any classwork yet today... unlike in Math
"We'll start off with the basic learnings of things like Volcanoes and then head into rocks and minerals..." She simply stated, taking a seat from on a medium-to-low leveled stool at the front of the room.
At this point, Jimmy, had his paw raised instantly.
Mrs. Thrower only nodded to him. "Yes?"
"Um uh, didn't we learn rocks and minerals in Fifth grade with Mrs. Russel?" Jimmy questioned, which made Humphrey only feel slightly lost at this.
Mrs. Thrower paused before nodding. "Well it'll be like a review, or whatever. Seeing what you have learned. and Besides, that was a few years ago, this is now sweetheart" Mrs. Thrower replied simply, eyes slightly stern. "Besides, it's been a while anyways so..." She shrugged.
Jimmy only nodded though as Mrs. Thrower then went on now, with the usual.
Sorry for the long wait. Took me a while, but I promise I'll start doing more chapters again :)
Next is Chapter 27 ^^
